2:00 A.M.

05-300x295 In a world between
waking and sleeping
you came and lay
upon my back

In my ear
low groan moan
I know you want me
you writhe
grind
bite
lick the mark away
suck
tongue tracing patterns

your legs between mine
smooth over me
I smell your burn
I lick my lips

Massage my coiled shoulders
nails an occasional counterpoint
nipples harden
your breasts
propel them along my back
I moan
you marvel

glide your palms
across your breasts
wish they were my hands
lean close to my ear
and whisper
I know you want me
. . . now.

White Tie, Top Hat and Tails

The Wells of America

Billie Holiday

“You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair, and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.” — Billie Holiday

Game Changer

“You have and always will change the game, so why are you concerned with their retelling who won the last hand. It’s not history that’s important it’s your next roll of the dice, the next turned card. Stop playing with their marked deck”.

Casualty

I was a soldier before I should have been. I’ve fought wars and been left for dead. A prisoner all my life. I’ve been MIA and I am a casualty yet still I rise.
